Steelers trade proposal lands 1,000-yard receiver to pair with Aaron Rodgers after George Pickens trade

The Pittsburgh Steelers just traded away one of their top-two receivers.

With the hope of Aaron Rodgers still coming to town, they might want to find a George Pickens replacement.

SI's Noah Strackbein has a suggestion: Trade for Chris Olave.

The Saints star from Ohio State has topped 1,000 yards in two of his three NFL seasons.

Strackbein writes that the Steelers should offer a second-round pick for Olave to try and get the deal done.

"The Steelers shouldn't go over, but they shouldn't pull back too hard," Strackbein writes. "Having a solid wide receiver does wonders for a young quarterback, which is what they want next season. This year, Olave keeps their offense competitive as they try to remain a contender with (most likely) Aaron Rodgers. If not, Mason Rudolph."

Olave is just 24, and as suggested, would then serve as a great bridge into a new QB era after a veteran starts in 2025.

He'd also form a great partnership with the newest Steelers star, DK Metcalf.

If Olave is up for grabs, plenty of NFL teams will be interested. Pittsburgh should certainly try to push itself to the front of the line.
